Komui's Talk Corner #3

QUESTION: Does Marie like Miranda?

ALLEN: Ehh, does he!? (surprised)

KANDA: Marie..? (surprised) There's no way he'd like that kind of woman…

ALLEN: Kanda, I'll beat you up if you talk rudely about Miranda.

JOHNNY: Aaah …But Marie definitely helps Miranda out a lot. In the novel, for example. If he likes her I want to cheer for him~~

KANDA: Marie helps out everyone. Not only that woman.

ALLEN: Kanda, you sound like a little brother who is scared his big brother is being taken away.

KANDA: You're an idiot. Go die, moyashi.

TYKI: You have to ask the one concerned to get an proper answer.

WISELY: I can use my demon eye to take a peek inside this Marie guy's head….

ALLEN & KANDA & JOHNNY: Don't peek!!!

QUESTION: Allen chanted 'adara' when he destroyed the gate to let Kanda and Alma escape at the North American Branch. Can Allen use magic like his Master can?

JOHNNY: That surprised me too. Allen, when did you learn how to destroy a gate?

ALLEN: Ehm… (looking queasy) From the time when Kanda stabbed me and the 14th started awakening. I heard a spell inside my head when I wished to destroy the gate, like with the player's song...

WISELY: That was the 14th's memory. The old ark that you are using is a ship that had fallen into the 14th's hand in the past…. It has many mechanics that only the 14th knows of. That's why the Earl threw that ark away.

JOHNNY: The 14th's spell, huh. Now you mention it, Allen's face was different from usual when he chanted it. It was a bit scary.

ALLEN: Eh!? Perhaps my facial expression became that of the 14th's… That's kind of sickening… (nervous).

TYKI: By the way, rather than the young boy, why can Cross Marian use the same magic as the Earl and the Skulls even though he's human? And, how old is he?

JOHNNY: It's true General Cross looks like he's in his late twenties… But he's definitely not in his twenties… Judging by his comments about the 14th, he's forty years old, but…

WISELY: Hmm… He's making himself look scarily young. Maybe he's over a hundred… What about it, apprentice?

ALLEN: I don't know either! Master hasn't aged a year since I met him… He's definitely a monster! Aaah scary!!

QUESTION: How much of his Master's debt has Allen paid off?

ALLEN: …..

JOHNNY: Allen…? (nervous)

TYKI: His eyes are rolling in the back of his head. That's no good. Wisely, peek into the boy's head.

WISELY: …..

TYKI: And? Could you see?

KANDA: How much is it? The debt.

WISELY: Does it really matter? Such things… P-people each have their own situations… Some things aren't meant to be known… you know… (turned blue).

TYKI & KANDA: !!?? (nervous)

Who cares about his age, Cross always looks great And I love how all the characters are talking about Cross in present tense. I don't think anyone believes he's really dead.

 

[Baniita]

ALLEN: Kanda, you sound like a little brother who is scared his big brother is being taken away.

KANDA: You're an idiot. Go die, moyashi.

Thank you, guys, for the scans and translations! Now, I can print out the bonus cover and flaps to make my own bonus cover for the localized version! ^_^ The Q&A was definitely cute by some degree. Didn't expect an answer to the "adara" chant, but, I'll take it!

Question to those who own 24, there seems to be a fan art section, right? One of the scans shows some type of "______ Corner"? *is curious* (Cause, that's a goooood sign. The Japanese fans should bombard Hoshino-sensei with tons of fan-art.)

 

[mahsanaru]

thank you so much for translating.Allen was really cool when used magic.i wish to see him using magic more.poor Allen just how much debt you had to pay up until now.

*wheezing* senD HELP

That was my favorite part. The way Kanda answered made it clear that Allen hit bull's eye


The fourth corner~ (tumblr post)

Spoiler: Komui's Talk Corner #4

Komui's Talk Corner #4

QUESTION: Johnny got all wobbly in the bar. Was that perhaps the first time he drank alcohol?

JOHNNY: No way ☆ I drink alcohol. Not very strong alcohol, but I am an adult after all☆

ALLEN: Johnny is roughly the same age as that curly-haired-facial-mole-person over there.

TYKI: Eh, really!? I couldn't tell!! (surprised) Also, that was cruel, young boy.

JOHNNY: You have to be able to drink all kinds of things if you want to join the Research Department. Not just alcohol.

WISELY: Hmm? Such as…?

KANDA: That's because those researchers are always making and drinking that creepy looking drink, calling it "a nutrition drink"….

QUESTION: Kanda said he never got hangovers before. What kind of alcohol does he like?

JOHNNY: You sometimes secretly drank tequila at the Order, right?

ALLEN: Tequila!? (voice cracking into falsetto)

KANDA: (Why do you know that…) No big deal… Due to the seal I couldn't get drunk in the past unless I drank strong stuff. I won't drink again.

TYKI: Saying 'in the past' like that.. How many years have you already been drinking?

WISELY: Hoho! You endured your first hangover bravely~~ Without the seal's power you might actually be a lightweight… Aah aaaah!!!?? (nervous)

KANDA: Oi, turban. The next time you look into my head again I'll seriously cut you…. (pointing Mugen)

ALLEN: I've never seen Kanda drink at the Order even once. Why do drink in secret? Are you so gloomy? Ah, yes you are. I guess that's fine then.

KANDA: Stop running your mouth, moyashi.

JOHNNY: That's because Lenalee once saw Kanda drinking tequila and thinking it looked tasty she drank it and got knocked out. Haha! You should've seen Kanda's face! He was in total panic (laughs).

KANDA: Why the hell do you know that! Komui doesn't even know!

ALLEN: Hehee~~…..☆

TYKI: Oh, there's the young boy's sinister smile.

QUESTION: I feel Road has become a lot sexier compared to before.

TYKI: About that…

WISELY: Yeah….

ALLEN: Please stop giving me those glances. Johnny too! Why are you blushing!?

JOHNNY: But Allen, you two kissed, didn't you…?

WISELY: You know what they say about a maiden in love~~ (grins)

TYKI: Is Road not even a blip on your radar?

ALLEN: O-on my radar…!? She crushed my left eye once!! That's how we met!!

WISELY: Love always starts from rock bottom in shojo manga's.

ALLEN: D.gray-man is a shounen manga!!

TYKI: Oooh? Denying it so intensely only make you look more suspicious. To be honest you think she is cute, don't you, boy?

ALLEN: Wait a second! Aren't we going completely off-topic!? (nervous)

WISELY: It's fine if you think she's cute even though you're enemies. Road is the heroine after all.

KANDA: Lena is.

WISELY: …What?

KANDA: Lena is the heroine.

WISELY: …Road is.

KANDA: You're wrong.

WISELY: It's Road. Road is the heroine.

KANDA & WISELY: ….. (glaring at each other)

JOHNNY: Ah, having two heroines is fine, right? (nervous)

WISELY: It's Roaaad----!!!

ALLEN: Let's go to the next! The next! (nervous)

"curly-haired-facial-mole-person"… Allen, the new king of sass


EDIT: The fifth corner~~

Spoiler: Komui's Talk Corner #5

Komui's Talk Corner #5

QUESTION: How much is an Order uniform worth?

ALLEN: We paid for lodging and a big pile of sandwiches with the ornaments from Kanda's uniform in this volume.

TYKI: You also betted your uniform during our poker game.

JOHNNY: What? You betted with the uniform we made…!? (cries)

ALLEN: Wah, don't mention that, idiot!! (upset) That's not how it was, Johnny! I had to do that to save Krory… B-besides, I won!!

JOHNNY: Oh, is that so? I guess you had no other choice then! (smiles)

ALLEN: Yeah… (nervous)

WISELY: The production process seems to use up more money than those ornaments.

JOHNNY: Yes, they're combat uniforms after all. The Uniform Department takes up a big budget. The uniforms have a high level of functionality and durability. They're custom-made: made to fit each person's body and fighting style. For example, Lenalee often fights in the air so her uniform protects her against winds and it has heat insulation. Lavi often uses fire attacks so his uniform is made to withstand heat. Krory is especially unique. Because he can turn Akuma blood into energy, his uniform has fibers which easily suck up blood only. It's probably the most expensive. Allen and Kanda often fight close-combat fights so as to keep their concentration and stamina high, their uniforms were made to quickly absorb sweat and stay dry. And because destroyed Akuma produce a virus gas, the uniforms are made with special fibers that are painted with a secret protective seal of the Chan Family to block out the gas as much as possible. And… what's wrong, Allen?

ALLEN: I-it takes you a lot of work… I didn't think beyond the uniforms being more durable than normal clothes and having silver and gold ornaments… (reflecting)

WISELY: And you used it for gambling, you heartless child.

LINK: I agree. Your uniform is also a prestigious symbol representing Central.

ALLEN: I-I heard Link's voice again… A ghost…!?

KANDA: ……

JOHNNY: Haha (embarrassed) Only us researchers know the value of the uniforms. To the untrained eye the ornaments look more expensive than the clothes. I can't say the exact price because it differs per design but the price of one uniform is in the ten thousands.

TYKI: Wow. I'll be sure to ruin your uniforms the next time we fight.

ALLEN: You're already always ruining them, aren't you!? One uniform is in the ten thousands… Ten thousands!! How many uniforms have I ruined…? Aaaah damnit, if only I had known..!!! (falls to the floor)

KANDA: How would knowing have helped…?

QUESTION: Tim munched on Master's cigarettes in volume 23. What's Tim's favorite food?

TIM: Gaaaaaaa?

ALLEN: Yes, yes. It seems he likes crunchy food.

TYKI: Is he really saying that? I only heard 'gaaa'--- Ouch!! Don't bite me!!

TIM: Gaaaaa!

ALLEN: He says seeing curly hair makes him want to bite it off.

TYKI: You're lying, right!? You're definitely lying!! Ouch! Stop it!

WISELY: Is that alright, golem? Your master, the 14th, has curly hair too!

ALLEN: You've forgotten about the 14th? Gaaaa ♡ (falsetto)

JOHNNY: Haha ☆ What's that? Are you imitating Tim?

KANDA: Disgusting…

 

[Baniita]

The first time Kanda got a hangover was because of Allen~ Ahaha~

ALLEN: Hehee~~…..☆

Allen u lil shet

Kanda and Wisely arguing over who the heroine is... omg. They sound like two siscons duking it out. XD

Hoshino really thought the uniforms through, wow. @ _@

TYKI: Wow. I'll be sure to ruin your uniforms the next time we fight.

Tyki u lil shet. are you hitting on allen and kanda or wat. Because that sounds like a double entendre.

ALLEN: He says seeing curly hair makes him want to bite it off.

crynig

New headcanon: Allen has a falsetto like Freddie Mercury.

THE QUESTION THAT IS ON EVERYONE'S MIND IS ASKED. AND NOT REALLY ANSWERED.

Spoiler: Komui's Talk Corner #6

Komui's Talk Corner #6

QUESTION: I beg of you, please tell me. How is Lavi…?

ALLEN & JOHNNY & KANDA: ….

WISELY: What is it? You can stare all you like but I won't give you my mitarashi-dango.

TYKI: It's rather Eyepatch-kun who is the tasty one if everyone is so worried about him. Boy, to be honest, you think so too, don't you?

ALLEN: Well… a bit.

JOHNNY: YOU DO!?

KANDA: Well, since it's that rabbit we're talking about, I'm sure he's not inside a coffin yet…

WISELY: I wouldn't be so sure about that~~ Hoshino has proven to be a true sadist towards her characters~~ She didn't even give mercy to her mascot-character*~~
[*He's referring to Timcanpy]

TYKI: That's true. If you ever see Eyepatch-kun again, be sure to be nice to him.

ALLEN: That somehow seems to mean a lot… Be nice? …Lavi is someone you feel like messing with when you see him. I wonder why? Maybe because he's Lavi…

JOHNNY: He's like a big brother to you, right? You lean on him, don't you (warm smile).

ALLEN: I'd prefer Marie as my big brother. Marie is calm and sets people at ease. Also, he's big and it'd be fun to ride on his shoulders. And Jeryy-san would be the mother, and Link would be mother too. Lavi… yeah, he'd be the neighborhood's flashy NEET*. Kanda… hmmm simply thinking about it is too troublesome.
[*Someone young who is not in education, employment or training]

KANDA: I never said I wanted to know.

WISELY: You mentioned two mothers though.

JOHNNY: And me? And me?

ALLEN: Johnny, Lenalee and Krory would be my classmates!

TYKI: And me? And me?

ALLEN: The local molester.

TIM: Gaaaaaa!

ALLEN: Tim would be my little brother of course! (hugs Tim)

WISELY: Then, me and Road would be the youngest children. We'd be five siblings. Take good care of me, big bro.

ALLEN: No way!!

LINK: All of you, there are no pages left! The next page features my Wondrous Paintings Corner, so please end your corner here!

ALLEN: (shocked) T-this time I'm sure I heard him..!! Aaah!! It's Link's ghost!!!! (runs away)

JOHNNY: I heard it too…! Uwaaah!! (runs away)

KANDA: (These simpletons…)

WISELY: I really like the mitarashi made by the human named Jeryy-san. Maybe I should ask Dezaiasu (Sheril) to make him our cook.

TYKI: Aaah, I'm tired…

THE END

Allen was on a roll. "The local molester"

 

[Baniita]

ALLEN HAS LESBIAN MOTHERS. See, this is what I've been saying for years and nobody believed me.

I'm not sure what this line means, or I'm not believing Hoshino wrote what I read:

TYKI: It's rather Eyepatch-kun who is the tasty one if everyone is so worried about him. Boy, to be honest, you think so too, don't you?

Would you be so kind as to clarify, please and thank you? <3
Because Tyki calling Lavi tasty... I'm gonna die of laughter.

TYKI: That's true. If you ever see Eyepatch-kun again, be sure to be nice to him.

Sure. "nice". You sadist.

Lavi… yeah, he'd be the neighborhood's flashy NEET*.

/dead from laughter.

Kanda… hmmm simply thinking about it is too troublesome.

/suffers a double-death.
Basically, "I don't know what the flying bleep is our relationship."

ALLEN: The local molester.

i'm so done. i'm quitting the dgm fandom. i'm quitting the interNET NO IAM DONE *throws Tim at Allen*

Allen.

Allen, Allen, Allen. ...I love you so friggin much, you precious sassmaster. 8 u8

 

[verduister]

Would you be so kind as to clarify, please and thank you? <3
Because Tyki calling Lavi tasty... I'm gonna die of laughter.

lol I didn't really get that one either. I think Tyki meant something like "Wisely, who cares about the mitarashi-dango, Lavi is more tasty/interesting, because everyone is worried about him"' or something. And Allen agreeing with it..

 

[Niko_kun]

So, everybody's doing something about this new volume and I felt the spirit xD I've cleaned the extra cover but i don't think its SO good, hope u like it

LINK: All of you, there are no pages left! The next page features my Wondrous Paintings Corner, so please end your corner here!

Wait!! Are those what those drawings are, from what I can tell of the clipped scan of the "______Corner"?? I see. So, it's all Link's doing!!

Well, thanks, verd. That solves everything.

ALLEN HAS LESBIAN MOTHERS. See, this is what I've been saying for years and nobody believed me.

I don't believe Allen had lesbian mothers, but.....(thanks to you, I hit a light-bulb of inspiration)....

Spoiler

I'm sure Allen having more than one mother is............................a CLUE to his past!! Like, past!Allen had a mother. Current Allen had Mother (as in, the church's "Mother")!! On top of that, Allen suddenly "remembers" Nea and Mana's mother making it sound like she's his mother! Between those times, we have no clue, but Allen could've either been reincarnated or adopted to have a third mother before giving him to the circus. Therefore, Allen had FOUR mothers!! No wait, if past!Allen had a past before meeting Nea. And I don't just mean his time as past!Allen... There could've been a past life past!Allen, so, he would have, at least, FIVE mothers!!

Way to go, Allen. You've been loved through several different lifetimes, which all seem to end up in hardships and sadness. Like, inheriting Nea's memories, getting a heartless name like "Red", having the Apo guy do "something" to you, and becoming a pupil of a debt addicted Black Order General. Oi oi.... Poor Allen. No one's ever going to tell you who your true mother is, but wait, that probably wouldn't matter. Every one of them are your mothers!!

And suddenly, this discussion has turned even weirder.

I do apologize for any headaches this post may incur. >___<

just to let people know: D.Gray-man Manga Has 20 Million Copies in Circulation: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/new...an-manga-has-20-million-copies-in-circulation


hoping it will come back up soon though >.<

 

[tgirl]

^ I didn't realize the full cover slip had the words "An awakening encounter - Allen vs Nea...." written on it. I only noticed the "20 million in print" a few days ago. Kind of funny considering "Allen vs Nea" doesn't exactly happen in 24, but, I guess they're referring to the "mental" struggle aspects with sharing a body. Interesting way to put it so I like it.

*fist pump for this to be a good sign, but keeps expectations neutral* Hope DGM can get 10 million more within this decade. Hoshino-sensei better have her hand/arm in super good condition when she comes back.

• Johnny's scruffy golem, employed for
"Lost Allen Prevention" and other kinds of

Apocryphos: You always do everything together with MY Allen. Meals with Allen. Baths with Allen. Snacks with Allen. Playing with Allen. Every day without exception, that gaudy, flashy golden body rubs up against Allen. With Allen with Allen with Allen with Allen with Allen with Allen with Allen...

Johnny should definitely make a business called "Lost Allen Prevention". I would soooo kill to see that.
Allen wouldn't be thrilled, but it makes sooo much more sense than having an equipment repair shop at this point.

And THAT'S the reason why Apo guy had to do that to poor Tim! The truth has finally come out. Apo is scarier than I thought. I bet he wants to take a bath with Allen and call him "Allen-ko". Poor Allen. Apo is such a stalker. A creepy creepy obsessed stalker... I thought Rouvelier was creepy enough to want to take a bath with Lenalee and Lavi-hiko, but no.... This is worse than I thought.
